Today we will look briefly at People-oriented leadership. We have looked at a number of leadership styles already this week and will continue to do so next week. There are billions of people in the world and each one is confronted with a leadership role sometime in their life. Many will not have that role in their careers but may be confronted with leading in the community, church or activity. Whatever the position is those people need practical information that will help them discover the right leadership style for their role.
People-oriented Leaders are focused on developing their team and the members of their team. they take an active role in making sure their members are successful in their jobs. This type of leadership style really helps with the building of the team and the growth of those within the team. It is a good style to use if you want to bond a team together on your quest toward a goal.
If this style is used exclusively you may run into problems with the team being able to complete tasks because they may not understand what the tasks are. The leader and the team become so people centric that they forget their are task to be completed. This is a great style for building the cohesiveness of the team but you may have to implement the task-oriented style along with the people-oriented style so you build a cohesive team that can complete the tasks.
If you are a people person this may be the style of your leaning. Especially if you care about the team and those who work for you. If you want them to be engaged and find success this style will help you achieve that goal.
